Strategy

We invest in mid-sized companies primarily located in the Benelux, France, Germany, Italy and Spain

Investment criteria

We seek for companies that have leading and sustainable positions in niche markets. In this sense, our projects typically evolve around core sectors in which we have built significant expertise: niche industrials; healthcare; retail, consumer goods and luxury; services, media and leisure.

We are predominantly focused on companies below €300 million of enterprise value.

We act responsibly and ethically, striving to incorporate Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) principles into our decision-making processes and ultimately into our portfolio companies.

Partnership

We seek to partner with excellent management teams and/or families, and provide them with the support to develop their project and execute a shared strategy. We therefore consistently allocate significant resources to support organic growth and international expansion, further boosted by add-on acquisitions. In this sense, our international footprint and network is fully at the disposal of our portfolio companies’ benefit.

We also focus on operational improvement and industrial solutions. If and where needed, we help managers and/or families in professionalizing and developing their companies to ensure their long-term sustainability.

Investment situation

We are very flexible in terms of structure and investment situation, having significant experience with acquisitions from families (accounting for half of our transactions), funds and corporates:

Transitions in family-owned businesses

International expansion

Industry consolidations

Carve-outs from larger groups

Processes with clear angles

In all situations, we guarantee a fast and reliable decision-making and total confidentiality.
